I'm not sure what's going to happen. I kept my 2012 nametag. It sounds like there won't be a base for CN people, this time. I haven't heard anything about trying to have a get-together, either. We just went out to eat in competition with dark skies and 3 observing sites running, last time. It's a full moon, so getting people together may be easier.

I think I have card stock left over from last year to print some up. Steph or Joe had plastic holders and neck straps too. If given enough time ahead of time we can accommodate folks. I suspect blank cards will be available for slackers.

No, seriously, I've got my nametag from last year and hopefully I'll be down there for the convention. We should try again for a dinner get-together. As someone pointed out, on a full-moon night, there would probably be more people to attend.

Well the name tags are a bit of a problem. Joe used fancy software and then flattened them as images. When I tried to open in Acrobat Pro they wouldn't edit and had to export them. Exporting destroyed half of them, the other half are still images. Going to try photoshop next.

So new folks (e.g. stevecoe) likely won't have their artwork on their name tag.

We didn't use perforated stock, I just whipped out my pocket knife and cut those suckers. I may bring my paper cutter this time around.

I just printed out the one I sent you on a sheet of paper, doubled up the paper and stuck it into a badge holder and it doesn't look too bad. And I do have some lanyards and badge holders that I'll bring.

Sweet! I was looking for something else a month or two ago and ran across the generic ID card sheets. Think I could find them this weekend? Nope. Got new carpet last year and I'm still looking for stuff when we had to move everything.

Did you print it right from Paint? If so, you can transfer any of those that you have using Copy and Paste. That's how I did mine. I used the template that you sent me, hilited my name tag, copied it and then pasted it in Paint. I had to mess with it a little to resize it, but it wasn't difficult.
